Future lighting: Wide application of stadium lights with intelligent control systems

Future lighting: Wide application of stadium lights with intelligent control systems

With the increasing development of social and economic construction and the continuous improvement of material and cultural levels, people are increasingly pursuing a high-quality working and living environment. In modern buildings, lighting design has far exceeded the original basic requirements of daylighting, and has begun to pursue the aesthetic enjoyment brought by lighting art; the overall control effect of lighting and other related equipment and systems; the energy-saving effect of lighting control, which is now called "green lighting".

The new generation of intelligent lighting control that came into being with green lighting is a new theme for indoor and outdoor environmental lighting. Intelligent lighting control automatically collects various information in the lighting system according to environmental changes, objective needs, user predetermined needs and other conditions, and performs corresponding logical analysis and reasoning judgment on the collected information, and stores, displays and transmits the analysis results in the required form, and performs corresponding working status information feedback control to achieve the expected control effect.

1 Characteristics of intelligent lighting control system

1.%2 System integration

It is a modern control system that integrates computer technology, computer network communication technology, automatic control technology, microelectronics technology, database technology and system integration technology.

2.%2 Intelligence

It is a control system with intelligent features such as information collection, transmission, logic analysis, intelligent analysis and reasoning, and feedback control

3.%2 Networking

Traditional lighting control systems are mostly independent, local, and partial systems that do not require a dedicated network for connection. Intelligent lighting control systems can be large-scale control systems that require computer network communication technology support including hardware technology and software technology to exchange and transmit necessary control information.

1.4 Easy to use

Since various control information can be displayed in graphical form, it is easy to control, intuitive to display, and can flexibly change the lighting effect by programming. This intelligent lighting control method is usually used in large buildings and public places such as stadiums, urban street lights, highways, municipal lighting projects, and large advertising light billboards.

2 The use of intelligent lighting control systems in stadiums has the following advantages

2.1 Realize intelligent control

The intelligent lighting control system uses advanced electronic and electrical appliances and communication technology, which can not only realize single-point, dual-point, multi-point, regional, group control, scene setting, timer switch, and on-site real-time monitoring, but also pre-program the lighting control mode for the illumination standards and lighting quality requirements of various sports competitions.

For example, the stadium can pre-program various lighting mode scenes for general competitions such as basketball, tennis, handball, volleyball, etc. through the intelligent lighting control system, which is stored in the panel buttons and puts it in a fully automatic state; according to the requirements of different scenes during the game, the various scenes required during the game can be realized by touching the buttons.

2.2 Comply with the Green Lighting Plan

Intelligent lighting control systems reduce operating costs by optimizing energy utilization; protect lamps and reduce lamp damage; intelligent control: make full use of the illumination changes of natural light to determine the range of electrical lighting; low-voltage distribution system design is convenient for economic accounting units to install meters and measure. In order to ensure various levels of competition, stadiums and stadiums can select high, medium and low illumination values of illumination standards by pre-programming lighting modes according to the system; select appropriate lighting methods, and use mixed lighting methods for places with higher lighting requirements, and use zoned lighting methods or other energy-saving methods for lower lighting requirements.

For example: for various competitions that are to be broadcast live or transmitted by satellite, the illumination standard should use a high illumination value, for training and competition, the illumination standard can use a medium illumination value, and for normal training, only open area lighting, and these can be preset in the intelligent lighting control system in advance, so that the expected effect can be achieved when used.

2.3 Easy to manage and reduce maintenance costs

The intelligent lighting control system changes the simple switch management mode of traditional lighting. It uses advanced electronic and electrical technology to display the lighting status of the entire comprehensive sports venue on the monitoring interface, and conducts real-time browsing and monitoring, which elevates the management of the entire sports venue to a new management mode. At the same time, it also reduces the maintenance process of the entire system and reduces maintenance costs.

2.4 Simple design

The design of traditional lighting control circuits is generally complex, and control and load need to be considered comprehensively in the design; while the use of intelligent lighting control systems only needs to consider the number, capacity and location of each control point of the load circuit. The required complex functions can be realized through software programming, and the design change is simple and quick, and only reconfiguration is required.

2.5 Easy installation

The traditional lighting control power line is long and the construction is particularly troublesome; while the wiring of the intelligent lighting control system is only between the control devices and between the control devices and the load, and the amount of cables on the trunk line can be minimized. According to comprehensive statistics, the wiring of the intelligent lighting control system can save 30% of the material cost compared with the traditional wiring, and the installation time and installation cost are also greatly reduced.

2.6 Safe use and strong sustainable development

According to user needs and changes in the external environment, intelligent lighting can adjust the lighting layout and expand functions by modifying the software settings instead of modifying the lines, which greatly reduces the modification cost and shortens the modification cycle. The working voltage of the control circuit is generally DC24V safe voltage, which can ensure the safety of personnel even if the switch panel accidentally leaks electricity. The system is open and can be combined with other property management systems (BMS), building automation systems (BA), security and fire protection systems, which is in line with the development trend of intelligent buildings.

2.7 Energy saving and environmental protection

By adopting a bus-based intelligent lighting control system, low-cost unshielded Category 5 cables can be used to replace a large number of high-voltage cables, thereby reducing the use of a lot of pipes during the construction process and reducing pollution to the environment.

2.8 The use of an intelligent lighting system is also an important symbol of modern sports venues

Complete facilities, complete functions, and advanced technology are all manifestations of the level of modern sports venues. Its lighting design is a highly functional, technical, and difficult design. Whether the lighting of a sports venue can meet the high-standard lighting quality requirements is one of the main signs of evaluating a comprehensive sports venue; it also directly reflects the degree of application of modern technology in sports venues.

The intelligent light control system of the stadium is of great significance and value in enhancing the audience experience, improving work efficiency and saving energy. It is believed that with the further development and application of science and technology, intelligence will play a greater role in more fields.
